Common questions
Do you need a permit for inspection in Fort Erie?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Fort Erie. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.

Most Fort Erie jobs land between $153 and $246. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $399. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
When's the best time of year for inspection in Fort Erie?
